Agilent Technologies reviews

The relentless focus on controlling both fixed and discretionary expenses, seemingly to placate Wall Street at any cost, underpinned (particularly in the US) by a pervasive fear of dismissal or demotion, drives all levels of management towards extremely conservative, low-risk, short-term, return-oriented decision making. Long-term strategic planning is non-existent.

Little opportunity to advance. Some how deadwood manages to find themselves in high position. Management is sometimes loaded down with incompetent people making decisions for competent engineers. Too many "yes" men at the top of the company. The pay is below average when compared to other companies in the area. The bonus program is consistently changing to minimize payouts to its employees.
